2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a 550 ml bottle in my hotel room in Rio de Janeiro. First of all it fobbed like an infecected home brew, so I wasn’t expecting much. I was mildly surprised. I t had the right yeast flavor, but the malt was too sweet. It seemed like they added lactose to it. It didn’t have the bite that an abbey needs. There was no complexity. Nice if you can’t get Chimay or Duval (and you can for a big time price in RJ). In the end...not enough complexity, weak after taste, and for what it is, too expensive. If you are in Brazil long term...enjoy. If not, wait.

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2007 The color is brown-copper, it looks like "guaraná" (a cooler that is made from a braziliana fruit). It has a collapsing head that desappears in few seconds. The aroma is very pleasant, reminding honey and malt, its very notable and the best thing in this beer. The taste is sweet and has an oats and malt flavour. The aftertaste is very dry and a little bitter, nothing special, it is a weak aftertaste. Besides that its too expensive. We really prefer the sweetness of Bohemia Schwarz.

UPDATED: AUG 22, 2008 Coloração âmbar, creme não tão persistente. Notas de cravo tanto no aroma quanto no paladar. Carbonatação média/alta. Poderia ter mais corpo, para justificar um pouco mais o estilo proposto.

For the eyes: orange colour (tea-like); clear body. For the nose: orange hops; notes of banana, pineapple and cinamon? There’s someting unpleasent here. For the mouth: very thin body. For me: label says ’inspired in the tradition of belgiun monks’ - just don’t let the monks hear that!
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aguada. Cor âmbar ligeiramente turvo. Creme pouco denso e persistente. Aroma muito fraco, sobressaindo malte, cravo e especiarias. No paladar, segue o aroma, com um amargor excessivo e metalizado. Sem ser preconceituoso, acho que se trata de mais um embuste da Ambev, por ter vendido uma cerveja "de abadia" (ou seja, com a mesma denominação de uma Leffe, por exemplo) como uma cerveja boa, que de fato ela não é...
